Ingrid Atterberg (1920–2008) was a Swedish ceramicist and designer, born in Härnösand. She trained at Slöjdföreningens skola in Gothenburg and from 1944 to 1963 worked at Upsala-Ekeby, where she led the department for hand-thrown and hand-decorated studio wares. She is known for her organic, often asymmetrical forms with incised, carved or painted decoration, including the Grafika and Mimosa series. In 1969 she opened her own workshop in Uppsala.
